I can write the saddest poem of all tonight \ Pablo Neruda

Today I am recalling Pablo Neruda. A great poet....a great lover and a great fighter.Kudos. No more words for him. Just have a dip into his words.
*********************************************************************************
*********************************************************************************

I can write the saddest poem of all tonight.

Write, for instance: "The night is full of stars,
and the stars, blue, shiver in the distance."

The night wind whirls in the sky and sings.

I can write the saddest poem of all tonight.
I loved her, and sometimes she loved me too.
[I feel it... greater chances are I am wrong]

On nights like this, I held her in my arms.
I kissed her so many times under the infinite sky.

She loved me, sometimes I loved her.
How could I not have loved her large, still eyes?

I can write the saddest poem of all tonight.
To think I don't have her. To feel that I've lost her.

To hear the immense night, more immense without her.
And the poem falls to the soul as dew to grass.

What does it matter that my love couldn't keep her.
The night is full of stars and she is not with me.

That's all. Far away, someone sings. Far away.
My soul is lost without her.

As if to bring her near, my eyes search for her.
My heart searches for her and she is not with me.

The same night that whitens the same trees.
We, we who were, we are the same no longer.

I no longer love her, true, but how much I loved her.
My voice searched the wind to touch her ear.

Someone else's. She will be someone else's.
As she once belonged to my kisses.
Her voice, her light body. Her infinite eyes.

I no longer love her, true, but perhaps I love her.
Love is so short and oblivion so long.

Because on nights like this I held her in my arms,
my soul is lost without her.

Although this may be the last pain she causes me,
and this may be the last poem I write for her.

Sacrifice \ Elton John

Once I heard a song by legendry Elton John. Long back. I can't recall even the year.

Just see the video and listen to the song. Both complement each other. And in between...... comes Elton....like someone speaking the language of Time.......dressed like an Irish playing a Bagpiper..... A great song by a Great Artist.
Released in November 1989, Sacrifice only managed to reach number 55 in the charts. However, the song was re-released in June 1990, with proceeds going to several AIDS charities. And rest is the history.

It makes you feel something deep inside your heart. If your heart aches....if you feel your 'ego' is pulling you away from your beloved one......then this song may be an ice on the blister. May be it will kindle the love for him/her.
See the video and listen to the song........ a really RARE combination.

Music by Elton John
Lyrics by Bernie Taupin
Album: Sleeping with the past

It’s a human sign
When things go wrong
When the scent of her lingers
And temptation’s strong

Into the boundary
Of each married man
Sweet deceit comes calling
And negativity lands

Cold cold heart
Hard done by you
Some things look better baby
Just passing through

And it’s no sacrifice
Just a simple word
It’s two hearts living
In two separate worlds
But it’s no sacrifice
No sacrifice
It’s no sacrifice at all

Mutual misunderstanding
After the fact
Sensitivity builds a prison
In the final act

We lose direction
No stone unturned
No tears to damn you
When jealousy burns

Colourblind / Darius.....

Today I was surfing the net and suddenly came across a video of one of my favourite songs in English. My affair with this song goes a bit back. When for the first time, I heard this song I was a teenaged guy..... and had some natural feelings induced by age.....yup...the scent of first night of universe :-) . And I found this song quite soothing that feeling. I always use to dream that 'she' is somewhere and I meet her. There was so much fog condensed at her face that I couldn't see her face. But I was able to recall her enthralling eyes, captivating lips, bewitching smell and.......................and then I was unable to meet her in this physical world.............and I couldn't see any other girl...............................I think I am crossing the limits...............

Here I am sharing that song's video and the lyrics. Please bear it.......

Colourblind

Feelin’ blue, while I’m trying to forget the feeling that I miss you
Feelin’ green, when the jealousy swells and it won’t go away in dreams

Feelin’ yellow, I’m confused inside
A little hazy but mellow when I feel your eyes on me

Feelin’ fine! sublime!
When that smile of yours creeps into my mind

Oh oh

Nobody told me you’d feel so good
Nobody said you’d be so beautiful
Nobody warned me about your smile
You’re the light, you’re the light
When I close my eyes
I’m colour blind

You make me colour blind

Feelin’ red, when you spend all your time with your friends and not me instead
Feelin’ black, when I think about all the things that I feel I lack

Feelin’ jaded, when it’s not gone right
All the colours have faded, then I feel your eyes on me

Feelin’ fine! sublime!
When that smile of yours creeps into my mind

Mm mm

Nobody told me you’d feel so good
Nobody said you’d be so beautiful
Nobody warned me about your smile
You’re the light, you’re the light
When I close my eyes
I’m colour blind

You make me colour blind

Blinded by the light you shine, the colours fade completely
Blinded by you every time, I feel your smile defeat me

I’m colour blind
I just can’t deny this feeling

Nobody told me you’d feel so good
Nobody said you’d be so beautiful
Nobody warned me about your smile
You’re the light, you’re the light
When I close my eyes
I’m colour blind

Nobody told me you’d feel so good
Nobody said you’d be so beautiful
Nobody warned me about your smile
You’re the light, you’re the light
When I close my eyes
I’m colour blind

You make me colour blind

I’m colour blind
